No specific curfew - technically speak we can serve alcohol til 2am during the week and 3am on Friday / Saturday nights. I think most weekday shows will typically wrap up by 11pm and weekends will vary depending on the crowd.

The current calendar has events spread throughout the week with showtimes between 7 and 9 pm. I'm guessing that end times will be dependent on the act, but maybe Heath can chime in whether there is a set curfew.

Thanks for the update, Heath. I liked that you reached out to followers on Facebook and Instagram for band suggestions. Obviously that wasn't a scientific poll, but it was clear that JC residents (or at least your social media followers) have a wide range of musical tastes.

I'm personally hoping you can bring in some bluegrass, Americana, indie rock/folk, funk, and jam bands. Looking forward to watching the schedule grow.

I was at the Nimbus Dance event yesterday. Very unique, detailed and physical choreographies in interesting music arrangements. The stage lighting truly made them shine. This is a great venue for JC productions, I will be back!

Speaking with a friend involved with the project there, my understanding was that they are planning a slew of private events to start off with in order to hone their game so to speak (work out all the kinks of running a place like that) prior to going public.

I posted this in a new thread but I realized most people would probably be checking this thread for news instead. There's a preview of White Eagle Hall as part of the Theater Center's fundraiser on Monday:

Hey I'm posting this on behalf of the Jersey City Theater Center. They are a non-profit arts organization that runs Merseles Studios (artist studios & black box theater on Newark Ave above Monaco Lock). They are also involved with programming at the soon to open White Eagle Hall.

Monday is their Summer Fundraiser, and there are still some spaces available. The fundraiser will take place at Madame Claude Bis and Cellar 335, which are the two restaurants (currently open!) below White Eagle Hall. During the fundraiser, guests will have an opportunity to tour White Eagle Hall!

There is nothing I want more than a decent sized concert venue in Jersey City. With White Eagle Hall constantly delayed and the Loews likely never to be renovated to the grandeur that it (and we) deserve, I don't have high hopes.
